Ruminating on this today, a prayer by William E. B. Du Bois. Whether on civil rights, immigration policy, creative pursuits, entrepreneurship or church ministry, the call to endurance is the same. In the midst of life and deeds it is easy to have endurance and strength and determination, but Thy Word, O Lord, teaches us, […]
To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour A Robin Red breast in a Cage Puts all Heaven in a Rage A Dove house filld with Doves & Pigeons Shudders Hell thr’ all its […]
If we’ve talked in the past two months, chances are I’ve brought up the Enneagram, a personality typing system based on 9 archetypes. I’m completely fascinated with personality typing systems (Myers-Briggs, DISC, heck even “which Harry Potter house are you?”–and yes I signed up for Pottermore when it launched and am a proud Ravenclaw). I’ve […]
In my previous post, On Asking for Wisdom Part One, I shared a bit on how and why I’ve typically sought wisdom, particularly through prayer. As an aside: I somehow neglected to mention other forms of asking for wisdom which has always been particularly important to me: via other people’s insight and experiences. Personal experience, […]

At the beginning of this New Year, my husband John and I decided we wanted to switch back to eating fully vegan. Since we first got married in 2013, most of the 4-and-a-half years we’ve been married, we’ve been eating vegetarian. 2017 — I began to introduce seafood back into my diet, periodically eating dairy-free. […]
I have not been blogging much of late; however, I have been drawing a bit more recently so I thought I’d share my favorite artwork I’ve drawn or painted over the past year. All the movie references are from Studio Ghibli films. Starting on the top left and going down row by row: 1. The […]
We shall not always plant while others reap The golden increment of bursting fruit, Not always countenance, abject and mute That lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; Not everlastingly while others sleep Shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, Not always bend to some more subtle brute; We were not made eternally to […]
